I can't remember how we found this place, but I'm sure it was via Yelp somehow. Lol. It's just how we do. So here's how things went! Atmosphere/Appearance: Located inside the Park Hyatt is this incredible establishment known as The Dining Room by James Viles. It is elegant, illustrious, warm, intimate and provided amazing views of both the Sydney Harbor Bridge and Opera House. The restaurant is open and the music was soft. We were sat directly in the middle of the restaurant, but it was okay, we had a good 360° view all around us. Service: We were taken care of very well and had no complaints at all. Food: So we were here during Sydney's autumn season as it was heading into winter time and this place serves a very on-brand seasonal tasting menu! Unfortunately, seeing as this was almost 2 years ago and I didn't take any pictures of the menu, all I have are the pictures I took to go off of. Lol. However, I do remember truly enjoying everything I had here. The unique part of this dinner is that everything came out at once! So on the table was a trio of sauces. One of them was a spicy oil, another a sweeter jam of sorts and the last, a more salty concoction. Our next course was this pumpkin sheet, goat cheese, cucumber concoction that fired on all cylinders balancing the sweet, with the savory, crunchy with the creamy. Well done. Next up was a salad sort-of dish similar to the last, but with no pumpkin, instead, still cucumbers, a creamy, mild cheese and a savory broth. Nice. Last, we had a big cut of steak. It was cooked to perfection, soft, tender and crazy-flavorful! I was a big fan. Like I mentioned, everything came out at once, so you could have a little bit of steak, then change things up with the pumpkin or pour one of those sauces on whatever you wanted. It was a really interesting and cool dining experience! Value: I mean... it's a fine-dining restaurant inside the Park Hyatt. Lol. Act accordingly. In conclusion, I really enjoyed my time here. I would absolutely return here to check them out again! I'll just be sure to take better notes. Lol. Thank you for reading.

They made sure we had whatever we needed and were genuinely helpful without the plastered fake smiles you find on so many in customer service. The Tapas selection has an excellent variety from traditional Spanish options like the patatas bravas (so delicious) to not so traditional options (like the kiwiana whitebait fritters which brought back memories of my trips around the land of the long white cloud). Being a Spanish tapas bar I insisted on trying the churros. The dipping sauce was divine. The churros themselves were cooked to perfection but were missing that lovely hint of cinnamon sugar. The other dessert we tried was the sticky fig and caramel pudding. It was all we could do not to dive in head first into the caramel sauce. I loved it and will continue to go back whenever I find myself in Randwick.

It was busy but not super packed, we were able to get a table for two without a booking. Unfortunately the paella is a special only on some nights, so no paella for me :( We ordered a liter of sangria and it was yummy! Since I wasn't getting my paella, we just ordered a few tapas - the carpacio trout, the potatoes bravas and the pork belly. The trout was nice and tasty, the potatoes were just average, but the pork belly was cooked perfectly and the crackling was delicious! We decided to get the pistachio custard dessert, which was creme brule style. Very yummy. Overall a great place, friendly staff and a nice atmosphere.

On arrival we were served a complimentary pumpkin soup served in the cutest little cup. This was followed by the salmon with squid ink pasta main and ended with the largest souffle I've ever seen. I'm not the biggest fan of cooked salmon but I thought this one was done rather well. Whilst the first few bites of the souffle were enjoyable by the time I hit the middle it was a bit of a sugar overdose and I wasn't able to finish it off. http://www.yelp.com.au/biz_photos/XZyS0e-K6TT7IySh1Wid-Q?select=Y4dedCHGvQNQj6CHJ0fVlg http://www.yelp.com.au/biz_photos/XZyS0e-K6TT7IySh1Wid-Q?select=fzN749_pd5KukxMp1rKe_Q http://www.yelp.com.au/biz_photos/XZyS0e-K6TT7IySh1Wid-Q?select=ZdB96RhOwH77r6tjXJbm1g SERVICE The place was very busy for a Thursday lunch but the waitstaff all seem very experienced at handling a full restaurant. VERDICT The food was decent but the biggest draw card about this place is definitely the view as you are sitting right alongside the Hawkesbury River. There's not much at Cottage Point and so it's a very quaint and peaceful area perfect for sitting back with a glass of wine, enjoying the scenery and relaxing. There is also minimal mobile phone reception so you definitely feel like you've escaped from Sydney even though it's less than an hour away from the CBD.

We had walked to Quay from our hotel by Circular Quay. Despite the rainy weather, it was an enjoyable stroll. We particularly enjoyed the view of the barracks and the bridge leading up to the restaurant. The restaurant itself was modern and beautiful designed. We were seated at a table looking out towards the Sydney Opera House. We came here to celebrate my hubby's birthday, and it was nice that several amongst the staff wished him a happy birthday. I also appreciated their confirmation of our dietary restrictions and had planned our courses accordingly. Service throughout the meal was comfortable and the pace between courses were well-timed. We enjoyed all the courses. The Marron course and the alternative I received for the abalone course (I'm sadly allergic to abalone) were particularly memorable. Every fine-dining restaurant had a Marron course, and Quay's was a step above the rest. The same goes for the experience: good food and experienced staff made for a well-rounded, delightful evening!
